| (1/1) |

Hello from Maine, Gosh this is my first trackball :) So I am reading the sheet of paper that came with my Opti-Wiz and looking at this Betson trackball and I could use a clue... Here is what I'm looking at : The top and bottom are shown just for fun, it's a Gauntlet Neo Geo Centipede reunion panel :) Here is the Betson plug and the Opti-Wiz board, I have to get these two together I need a clue about these wires, the top are green, blue, and brown and the bottom are red, black, and yellow Thanks :) Craig |

Aha! I found the answer :) http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=3131.0 X-axis makes your mouse move horizontally Y-axis makes your mouse move vertically Z-axis is like the scroll wheel on your mouse I want just X and Y for this trackball Yellow = X1 = A on Opti-Wiz Green = X2 = B on Opti-Wiz Brown = Y1 = C on Opti-Wiz Blue = Y2 = D on Opti-Wiz Red = +5v = 5v on Opti-Wiz Black= ground = symbol above 5v that looks like this : And that looks like this : When I tried the trackball out in Windows XP the mouse cursor was inverted, the cursor would go left as I was spinning the ball right - so I flipped the trackball in it's plate and tested again, it worked fine. I know MAME is super configurable so I will make player three's buttons as mouse buttons that can work within Windows and also be set to work within MAME - this acts as a mouse built into the control panel for using in Windows. On the button's microswitches "NO" lugs connects to "L" and "R" on the Opti-Wiz, and "COM" lugs connect to the nearby ground symbol. Hot glue is nice for holding wires down, and removable in the future if necessary. And that's a wrap :) |
